Overview

Set of one tea cup and one plate of the “Year of the Dragon” Kutani dragonware, made of fine Japanese porcelain, will make your tea party special and aesthetically pleasing.

- a tea cup, capacity 100ml
- a small plate, diameter 11 cm

Having taken the last sip, and looking at the bottom of the mug in the light, you will find a portrait of a certain Japanese young lady with a traditional hairstyle. An image of a geisha adorns the bottom of the cup, like a watermark on a banknote. In the normal state, the pattern is not visible, you can only feel its slight relief with your fingers.
Lithophany, at the bottom of the bowls you can see the face of a geisha, whose appearance served as a kind of sign for the manufactory, or rather a number of factories on the same territory.

Kutani (Japanese: 九谷焼) is a type of Japanese porcelain that was produced in the city of Kaga, modern Ishikawa Prefecture. The production standard follows the criteria established and developed by Arita. Even today, most Kutani porcelain is hand-painted. The face is created using 2-5 layers of porcelain mass.

The set is in excellent condition, without cracks or scuffs.
